Community Development Funding

The Town Council has set aside £100,000 for Community Development Workers in the budget for 2017/18. Bradford Council had previously funded Community Development workers in Keighley for over 10 years, however due to budget cuts taking effect from April 2017, funding for community development was no longer available. This vital service for Keighley has been identified as an area that Keighley Town Council can support as it is a fundamental part of community growth, development and integration.
